My weekend was a bust except the workout and successful weigh in but back in the saddle this week. Adding more vegetables, egg whites and fish is what I need to stay on top and have more energy for my workouts. I can feel myself getting stronger and it is beginning to slow in my shoulders and arms. (Definitely a lot more stretch marks.) I need to find my Palmer's Cocoa butter lotion stat!

I see a difference in my rubber tire belly. Seems to finally be going down and there are more stretch marks visible. My belly has always been my biggest issue even during the time when I first lost weight.

That's all I have for now. Ciao!

Special Day! :D

I'm doing pretty well today. We went to the buffet last night and I hardly ate. I splurged a bit with a few chips, beans and cheese with sour cream. I mostly ate like a bird!

Strange appetite I have. I decided this weekend to do more of a lower carb style of eating. We'll see how that works out.

Today is also a special day! 8 month wedding anniversary! YAY! I am such a newlywed! LOL!

Today's Musings - April 19, 2011

I managed to lose the binge weight of the weekend and still truckin' along. I was hungry last night after my meal of egg white, 2 ham slices, 1/2 whole wheat lavash bread with laughing cow creamy Swiss wedge and a teaspoon of garlic hummus. A half cup of non-fat cottage cheese did the trick. Filled me up just enough.

Reminding myself to buy some yogurt to mix in with the cottage cheese, too.

A little sore from last night's workout and also tired in general. I have a lot of trouble sleeping at night. And TOM has not shown up in months. It's either my diet or symptoms of perimenopause. I know I mentioned this is a previous post but I would not mind one bit if early menopause happened!
